The message days it all: "This [grid] is the name of a base package."
If you need a new version of grid: Upgrade R to R-2.12.0 which will be
released tomorrow.
Best,

Hi all,
I can't understand why grid package failed to installed on my machine. Can
anybody have a look and advice on where I am missing it.
My R version is 2.9.2. After untarring: tar xzvf grid_0.7-4.tar.gz, I
tried to configure or make but none worked, 'no such files'. I have also
tried using : sudo R CMD INSTALL /home/ogbos/Desktop/goo/grid_0.7-4.tar.gz
which also resulted in the error below.
* Installing to library '/home/ogbos/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8'
* Installing *source* package 'grid' ...
Error: Invalid DESCRIPTION file
Invalid package name.
This is the name of a base package.
Execution halted
ERROR: installing package DESCRIPTION failed
Thanks for any advice.
